(7,820 posts)If there's any truth at all to the wiretapping, a judge okayed wiretapping Trump or someone he was talking to.

Intercepted Russian Communications Part of Inquiry Into Trump Associates

(20,872 posts)some truth is a lot like saying, the total statement was not true.
Ari Fleischer is a shill that smokes crack. There's some truth in that statement, but the statement isn't true...probably.

(82,849 posts)Ari: I call bullshit. President Trump specifically said that Obama tapped his phones. There were no qualifiers, no distancers, it was Obama and Obama alone who tapped Trump's phones (plural, not singular). If Trump has proof of this, it's up to him to bring it to the table, not for everyone else to figure out which of his myriad hobgoblins was whispering in his ear when he sent out his tweets. There's no "some truth" to this beyond there is a man named Obama and Trump possesses phones.

(11,996 posts)But what he failed to mention, as did Levin, was the HEADLINE explains the source of the wiretaps referred to in the article!! NOT Louise Mensch's report about a FISA 'warrant'.
It was Russian communications that were wiretapped, not trump's!
